what the silence did for us in iran was that it robbed us from hope. yes, you cannot change the behavior of their iranian regime but what you can do this to give 7000 other political prisoners who are right now in prison, you can give them hope because the news does get into the prison. if they actually hear that you, in the united states of america -- and i promise you they will hear this, you are standing up for them and not about this masquerade of the nuclear thing that has almost become a joke. if they hear that, you would be literally saving those political prisoners lives. i have the luxury of not being a politician. i was in a political prison and i saw with my own eyes how thousands of young teenagers were brutally massacred after being tortured and raped under the name of islam and religion. to be honest with you, all i am interested in is just saving one life. if i can save one life, i can die in peace. i know the arguments and many of them are political but for me, it is an issue of practicality and it is an issue of saving lives. >> do you

it is liked by calling -- it is like calling after your house has been robbed. do you have a responsibility to protect the employees or the customers at the bank? do we need to think about this in an active defense kind of way? you are rushing and blitzing the other team's quarterback but they are trying to score on you. what should the private sector be doing and thinking? you had been a wonderful leader. one of the reasons, i am curious why you wanted to step into this role. i am a little more forward lean and probably most people would be in this. you do not just shoot back. you will take down innocent sites along the way. what about forensics evidence? could that be shared with other entities? i would be curious what everyone's thoughts are. >> thank you. i think this illustrates this will be a long national dialogue. they want to play a key and critical role in that dialogue. this is why i stepped up to chair the external committee for the cyber security initiative. i would like to think our president for their leadership. i think the issues here, there are

in the meantime, from this morning, a group that heard from rob portman and the director of the economic council gene sperling. we will show you as much of their remarks as we can until the portion with senator baucus gets under way. >> actually, they just give my speech. i would like to grow and not slow the economy. that is part of the answer to this. we may disagree on how we do it, but we are not going to get the fiscal house in order without having additional revenue, and that comes from growth. we also need to restrain spending, we need to do both. in washington, there is such a deep fiscal hole right now we cannot find it without both. again, we will have differences of opinion on how to do it. there are strong opinions on its sides -- on each side, both sides, but that is why we need a discussion today, why we need a successful outcome, not only to the fiscal cliff talks, but also to the longer issue of debt and deficit, and long-term growth. i was asked to focus on what might be possible in terms of possible tax reform. i know tax reform and health care reform are the two topics
